Remember that little bear? Last season, the semi-final of the West reached half, and it was lost, and then it was forgotten. Everyone was immersed in the admiration of the Warriors until they won the championship again.
Compared with the regular season, the way the grizzly bears are out is a bit bear-headed and snake-tailed. How powerful they are in the regular season, and they are constantly generating topics, which makes people have to look around. In the end, the Grizzlies won 56, the second in the league. Their attacks were like flowing clouds, with an average score of 115.6 points. The second in the league was the second in the league. The defense also had the strength to play the playoffs, although the average score loss should be ranked 12th, it will be ranked in the top four after every 100 rounds of conversion.
The grizzly bear almost became a traffic team. If it was not located in a small market, Morant was still young. His dreadlocks was a bit out of the way. The grizzly bear could be the most respected representative of the freshmen among young people.
Unfortunately, the grizzly bear met the warrior and the best curry, and Morant was injured and did not play the last three games. Up to now, Morant still thinks that his injury has affected the grizzly bear to continue in the playoffs. In fact, Morant had three injuries last season. The first two were in the regular season. During his absence, the grizzly bear’s record was better. In the first paragraph, he won 10 and lost 2, in the second stage, 7 wins and 2 losses, the 7 wins are consecutive wins. So far, the absence of two stages is still an important obstacle affecting Morant’s position in the hearts of fans.
Obviously, grizzly bears have more hidden diseases than they look. So will they bear head and snake tail again in the new season?
To be honest, it is not easy to run a team like grizzly bear in a small market. You can get the results so that you can often show your face in the national live broadcast, so as to enhance the value of the team, attract sponsorship more easily and raise the price of the broadcast; But you can’t spend too much money, we must try our best to avoid tax, and it is better not to exceed the salary cap.
Therefore, general manager Kleiman did very little in the past summer and only did three things: draft, renewal in advance and exchange for old comrade Danny Green.
It is a top priority to renew Morant in advance with the top salary. In this way, the Axis structure of the grizzly bear has been built in the next four or five years, that is, Morante and Jay Jackson. Then, Kleiman continued for two years for the defender Tyus Jones, and the substitute kangchar also continued for five years.
Before the draft conference, the grizzly bear used defender Melton to exchange Danny Green, who was seriously injured in the knee from Philadelphia. It was quite confusing at that time, because Green was seriously injured in the playoff and seemed unable to play next season, and the salary 10 million was converted to full protection. In fact, Kleiman’s move was “killing two birds with one stone” in exchange for the signing on the 23rd. Melton, who was sent away, would renew the big contract two years later, and Morante and JJJ’s salary added up to 60 million.
However, the forward, Carl Anderson, who was surprisingly slow but capable of throwing power, was released and went directly to the Timberwolves.
Kleiman carefully calculated for the grizzly bear, controlling the salary at over 0.12 billion, only 700000 away from the salary cap. This level is like playing cold water jug. The stone ball stops when it is closest to the center of the circle. In fact, the piston is “closer” than the grizzly bear, only 500000, but how can the result of the piston be compared with the grizzly bear? Only four teams in NBA did not have overpaid caps. Apart from the grizzly bear and the piston, the remaining two pacers and Spurs who were more than 20 million away from the top of the cap began to be completely rebuilt.
The training camp began. The Grizzlies team, which won the second most games in the league last season, ranked 23rd in salary.
Training camp didn’t wait for anyone and started as scheduled, but the center little Jaron Jackson could only take fixed makeup photos and did nothing else. When he had knee surgery in July, the recovery time given by the doctor was 4 to 6 months. The most optimistic estimate was that his return time would be one month after the start of the new season.
JJJ has been identified as the core center of the next four years by the grizzly bear, so he is cautious about his knees. He can’t catch up with the beginning of the new season. Carl Anderson has been replaced. Who will fill the vacancy? Fortunately, the head coach Jenkins has many soldiers, and there are many ways.
The first way is to push the substitute forward Clark directly to the No. 4 starting position, although he only played 21 starting games in the previous three seasons. Clark is aggressive and has played with the current lineup for 3 years. It is easier to integrate. But in this way, it will affect the thickness of the bench, so Zhan guidance may still let him play a substitute.
The second way is to push the small forward Zairian Williams to the first place, but he still plays number 3, but pushes the original Dillon Brooks who played 3 to number 4. They are all outside lines in their early 2 meters and can also play number 4, but whoever is better at rebounding and defending will play 4. In this way, at least the first month, the grizzly bear will deal with JJJ’s absence with “one big and four small.
The third way is to give the chance to the Spanish insider Sandi-Ardahan horse who has only played for one year. His height is 211, which is the last sign in the first round in 2021. He is relatively mature in the summer league, or, tillman who has played in the team for 3 years can also try.
In the case of JJJ’s absence in the season, the characteristics of the grizzly bear’s outline team will be more obvious. They will fight back more and shoot more three points. In this way, Bain, Morant, it becomes very important how outside leaders such as Brooks will vote.
In terms of the total number of three-point goals, bain is one of the top 10 three-point pitchers in the league, and the hit rate is the second highest, which is close to 44 percent. Therefore, during the third battle against warriors, moran tew, bain is regarded as the core and hope of the team. But after all, he was only a pitcher, and the warrior limited his score to single digits in the first game. In the new season, Bain will maintain the original level.
However, the three-point hit rate of Morante and Brooks is much worse, one is less than 35%, and the other has just reached 30%. Originally Melton’s shot was the second in the team, and it was OK to hit nearly 38 percent, but he had been replaced and virtually put forward higher requirements for Morante and Dillon.
The new season is Dillon’s contract year. Who doesn’t expect to get a bigger contract in summer? Therefore, Dillon made a public decision to reporters on the media day, saying that he would vote three points more, be more accurate, and be less technical foul.
In a word, the grizzly bear in the new season just got up from the disappointed playoffs, with injuries on his body. Two bear claw are missing. Can it reproduce the blood of last season’s regular season, it depends on Morant taking the lead.
Among the younger generation, Morant is an outstanding one. Dunking is popular among young people and has won many honors in the past year. He became an All-Star and was elected as the player with the fastest progress, he became the best in Western week twice, and his name was also included in the MVP vote. He has pride in his character. He thinks that I will be the first in the world. He also thinks that many people in the league are dissatisfied with themselves and will kill you if they are not satisfied.
Such Morant will offend some people, but the key is to fight hard, especially the three points and knees. The new season must be competitive.
After all, the grizzly bear is in a small market, spending so much money to do big things, which cannot be compared with those who spend money at the top of the list, such as Clippers, Warriors, basketable nets and Bucks. However, they will still be the young team with strong appreciation and great popularity. If they can break through 60 wins, their era will really come.
